I wonder if they expect the coach to also be a sort of general manager controlling the top levels of the program (I think Arenas did that well). But this team definitely needs a sage, a creative coach, a new voice.pelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004221953394029017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250921732028752029.post-12903579281494968592008-09-08T11:30:00.000-07:002008-09-08T11:30:00.000-07:00Hey peli, yeah, I was reading about Papa Bradley's...Hey peli, yeah, I was reading about Papa Bradley's "bucket system" (4-2-2-2) formation and it angered me.

In Cuba I learned there are no hot dogs, except for the actual animal that wanders in the street sweating and looking for scraps. I appreciate your blog. I hope others do too.
